Has Wheel of Time Season 2 Been Confirmed?

Wheel of Time Season 2 is a go! In fact, it's already been going for a while now. The series was officially renewed for a second season back in May 2021, before the first season even had a trailer. What's more, production on Season 2 is well under way, having started production in July 2020 - also before the first season had a trailer. Suffice it to say, Amazon clearly has a lot of confidence in the series, and along with the upcoming fellow prestige fantasy Lord of the Rings series, is clearly investing heavily in some beloved IP to continue building its streaming service.

Season 2 was officially announced when Season 1 wrapped filming. At the time, showrunner and executive producer Rafe Judkins said, “Getting a second season order before the first season has even premiered is such a vote of confidence in the work we are doing and the property itself, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to continue to live and work in the world Robert Jordan created.”

Amazon Studios Co-Head of Television Vernon Sanders added that Amazon “wanted our Prime Video customers to be delighted that a second season is already in the works so that they would know that the journey would continue.”

So rest assured, you won't be stuck with any unresolved cliffhangers after Season 1 - the journey is already confirmed to continue, and Amazon has struck an impressive pace, suggesting we might not have to endure the dreaded Game of Thrones and Outlander-length gaps between seasons.
